Other Versions vs. This Version
Different Version:
Sleeping Beauty is awakened by her Prince, not only with a simple kiss, but with a fervent deflowering, which initiates her into a world of sexual adventures. The prince strips her naked and takes her to his kingdom, which is ruled by his mother, and the princess is trained as a slave and plaything for the prince. The rest of the slaves (there are dozens) were sent to become obedient and submissive sexual property, accepting being spanked and forced to have sex with nobles and slaves, of both sexes. In the castle, Sleeping Beauty meets another slave, Prince Alexi. Sleeping Beauty disobeys while Prince Alexi became a totally surrendered slave. This version ends with Sleeping Beauty sentenced to brutal slavery in the neighboring village, while her master weeps. This is different from the Sleeping Beauty we all know and love. Disney has made the story more child-friendly for its audiences.
